The layer of port addresses refers to the Transport Layer in the OSI model. This layer is responsible for providing end-to-end communication and managing data flow between devices. Port addresses, or port numbers, are used to identify specific applications or services on a device, allowing multiple applications to communicate over the same network connection. Common protocols that utilize port addresses include TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) and UDP (User Datagram Protocol).
port numbers
RARP (Reverse Address Resolution Protocol) maps layer 2 addresses to layer 3 addresses. ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) maps layer 3 addresses to layer 2 addresses.
Port and memory addresses are expressed as Hexadecimal Numbers
Network layer
The layer 2 devices use the data link layer addresses.
Network layer
They operate at Layer 2 of the OSI model and forward data to the port on which the destination system is connected by using MAC addresses of connected devices.
Not possible, both are numbers.
Layer 3 network addresses are logical addresses and can be easily changed by software.
Addresses 80 - 87H are assigned to the P0 port
